ike I've never had plum wine before, it grew on me. He's definitely a character that's for sure and I'm glad I made a last minute decision not to wear stockings - I think that would have sent him over the edge.
When are you seeing your blerk ?

SP I'm hoping it means 'beard lover' but as I didn't check before I typed, it might not. He sniffed my neck, Software wants to sniff my hair - I seem to be attracting men who want to smell me.

ike1 · 04/04/2013 19:29

Oh well maybe sunday Kin....for someone who seems so incredibly keen...he is mighty difficult to pin down...

ike1 · 04/04/2013 19:30

I usually drink plum wine with Japanese food...

KinNora · 04/04/2013 19:30

Rainy I think he's definitely fun and interesting, obviously I'm rubbish at all this dating malarkey because I'm feeling slightly two-timey about seeing Software tomorrow.

KinNora · 04/04/2013 19:32

Oh I do hope so Ike it's about time you had some fun.

(Yeah, it was a noodle place, his choice rather than mine)

ike1 · 04/04/2013 19:35

Dont worry about multi dating at this point Kin...I would if there was more choice. Yes I am very much enjoying my conversations with Mr H but I know from previous experience it really is not a good idea to go too full pelt without meeting first and I am afraid that is what is happening now. 3 hour convos for the last 3 nights.

Kin interesting... Grin I've lost track of your itinerary, are they in different towns and you're in a hotel right now? seem to remember you were on an early train several days ago.

OWW hmmph lets hope he re-arranges

Rainy glad it all went ok, date 2 soon then.

Ike when is your date with Mr H?

I am meant to be having date 2 with Musician Man tomorrow, he is a bit shy on the contact front though. When I asked him about it he said he didn't want to appear pushy but a bit of interest would be helpful.

Anyway Kin...you didnt answer the question....can you see yourself doing 'the beast' with Mr Showbiz?

ike1 · 04/04/2013 19:40

Hey Jules remind me with Musician Man...been a bit distracted ...were you keen? Got to sort out these warring kids...will be back in a bit....its been a long, long holiday....

Bant · 04/04/2013 19:44

Well buffy is sick. I'm back in Budapest for a couple of days and she's said she's down with the lurgey, doesn't want me to come over in case I catch it. Normally I'd be all gallant and head over anyway to give her the creme eggs I brought back for her, but I've got a trip to the states on Monday and really don't want to catch what she's got then have a week feeling shitty at a conference..

So, I might get to see her tomorrow night. In the meantime, I'd suggested Saturday night to CootGirl back in the uk, she'd gone quiet for several days, then came back and said yes, along with some funny, quirky, sweet lines which made me grin. Guiltily.

This is shit. I wouldn't even think of meeting CootGirl if buffy wasn't leaving the country in a month. But she is. And attractive funny intelligent women don't come along all that often, at least not that want to date me.

But Coot is in England, buffy will be in the US. I think I will be single for some time to come..

(nice one kin and rainy)

OhWesternWind · 04/04/2013 19:49

Ha Ike cut to the chase! He sounds interesting Nora but I think the beard would be scratchy.

Will wait and see if Cakey rearranges - think its a genuine excuse but we'll see. Bit of a let down though.

Rainy - steady. Glad it went well, but keep your head, stay calm, reserve judgement.

Ike he is the man who I went on a date with about 6 weeks ago, then he went on holiday for two weeks, suggested date 2 but never actually came up with an actual date until last week. I can't remember what I called him before, its been so long. He's ok, very nice good looking man but not sure if he would light my fire but pleasant enough.

Bant don't feel guilty, absolutely no point in that. You have a strong moral compass, but there is no bad intent and just because it's not ideal it doesn't mean you shouldn't do it if that is ultimately what is best for you. Anyway, by the time you meet up with either of them the chances are that the timing will be in your favour so any crossover will be minimal non existent.

Ike - 3 hour conversations for the last 3 nights, bloody hell, you definitely need to meet him asap.

Not entirely sure that I see myself making the beast with two backs with Showbiz, the undercurrent of filth bubbling through him might make me more inclined to do so.

It's vair complicated Juliette I'm staying at my parents' oop north for two weeks, Mr Showbiz, lives over t'other side of the Pennines and travelled here to take me out today, Software lives in Bristol and I'm getting the train down there tomorrow, where I will staying in a fancy pants hotel.

I'm trying OWW but it's really hard. We're trying to sort out date number two.

KinNora · 04/04/2013 20:00

OWW I imagine the beard would be less scratchy if it were brushing against areas other than my face. Cough.

KinNora · 04/04/2013 20:05

Bant you've never struck me as an unkind or thoughtless man, I hope Cootgirl turns out to be really lovely.

ike1 · 04/04/2013 20:05

Yes ...just dont think about him sniffing at the same time kin....

ike1 · 04/04/2013 20:07

Jules...good looking though....a major bonus in Online Dating....major bonus...

ike1 · 04/04/2013 20:08

Yes even I am beginning to get a bit 'frustrated' and that is a very strange sensation Kin ...let me tell you...

KinNora · 04/04/2013 20:09

God yes Juliette - attractive and pleasant ? Have him washed and brought to your tent pronto.

KinNora · 04/04/2013 20:11

Ike I had a little frisson when he kissed me ( and sniffed me, it was a bit, you know, animalistic ) - I think this goes to show how much I need a shag.

JulietteMontague · 04/04/2013 20:20

Ike and Kin I would. I'm not sure if he is a bit limp, figuratively speaking. Good looking and limp is not necessarily attractive a such, we'll see.

Scrazy · 04/04/2013 20:21

OWW, I got the work excuse yesterday. It must have been genuine as he is so keen to rearrange, so wait and see.

Sounds like some interesting successful dates today Grin.

Bant · 04/04/2013 20:22

Nora, seeing as you keep commenting on how good he smelled, maybe you were doing as much sniffing as he was?
